In order to cut back on the number of dead posts with only one person actually following the show, this thread now exsists to preview the fanbase before moving on to having a full thread.

Essentially, you'll ask about a particular TV show, movie, whatever, and if anyone else shows interest in it, those posts will be split off to form a new topic for that program. If no one shows interest...well, your post will litter the thread either until someone finally notices it or it gets sent to the Masher. :p

Does anybody watch the show Supernatural on the CW Network? It's about two brothers, Sam and Dean Winchester, who are hunters of anything supernatural. They've taken on werewolves, shapeshifters, vampires, ghosts, zombies, demons, even a couple of pagan demigods at one point.

They've just started their fourth season. In season three, Dean sold his soul to a demon to bring Sam back from death and got a year. At the end of the season, he was sent to hell but now he's back, pulled from hell by the angel Castiel. Apparently the demon who sent Dean down to the pit is now seeking to break the sixty-six seals in hell. Once they all go down, Lucifer walks free. This means the angels are back, after 2000 years (lol), and are waging war against the demons...and they need Dean's help.

That said, the show is by no means religious. It's more of a dark and literal view on any and all myths, legends, lore and fairy tales. Meaning the angels are not white, fluffy-winged cherubs playing harps on a cloud.

If that doesn't peak your fancy, then the show is also full of witty humour. The two stars, Jensen Ackles ("Jason Teague", Smallville) and Jared Padalecki ("Dean Forester", Gilmore Girls) have incredible chemistry and watching them in the gag reels is a riot.

Finally, if you're a fan of classic rock, like AC/DC, Kansas, Journey, Lynyrd Skynyrd, etc., then you'll love the soundtrack.

Kings is basically "What if America was a monarchy?," right? To that I'll ask "What would they fill twinkies with if not cream filling?" Perhaps jelly? Caramel? Monkey blood? I don't know, but I'd tune in to find out.

Castle...is that the one with Nathan Fillion? It looks good. Mostly because of Nathan Fillion. Actually, entirely because of Nathan Fillion. In fact, without Nathan Fillion, I'd not care at all.
